2006 is a very special year for Strays Halfway
House. On December 3rd, Strays Halfway House was
very proud to not only have held their 15th Holiday Party
but also to have celebrated their 25th Anniversary.
Through the years SHH has gone through many regroups and
changes, but has kept the stamina and endurance to
continue on with their mission of rescuing and adopting
out stray and/or abandoned animals. Our party this
year was held at the beautiful Villa Olivia Country Club
in Bartlett, where everyone enjoyed their delicious meal
and the great entertainment provided by DJ Don
Esposito. Our silent auction was a huge success,
not only allowing people to do a little christmas
shopping, but also in the fact that all of the items were
donated by many generous restaurants, stores and
companies. This is important as it allows all of the
monies collected to be used for the care and medical
treatment of our foster animals. We want to thank
the many generous people that attended and also those
that could not, but were gracious enough to still send in
a contribution. It takes alot of hard work to
continue on each day, but with the help of our
volunteers, foster homes, our board and a generous public
that cares, Strays HH hopes to celebrate many more
anniversaries. Thank you all once again for opening
your hearts to our animals and Strays Halfway House would
like to wish all of you a very happy and healthy new
year.
